Today focus will be on the ISM Manufacturing PMI: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stocks Waver After S&P, Nasdaq End February at Record Levels

Today focus will be on the ISM Manufacturing PMI (E: 49.5) not just because of the headline reading (can it break above 50?) but also because of the price index,” writes Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye. “The price index jumped to the highest level since April last month and if that increase continues, it’ll likely be modestly positive for yields and negative for stocks.”

The market is mostly in a holding pattern to start the week: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Nasdaq Snaps 2-Day Losing Streak

“The market is mostly in a holding pattern to start the week,” Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s in a phone interview. “The big numbers come on Thursday, with all these inflation updates.

It is not just in the U.S. with core PCE, but also in Europe. Depending on what happens there will dictate whether or not this market can grind higher.”

“It doesn’t mean the economy’s rolling over”

Tom Essaye Interviewed by Barron’s

Stocks Are in a Holding Pattern. It’s All About Inflation Data.

Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s in a phone interview that recent economic data, including durable goods and retail sales, have come in softer than expected.

“It doesn’t mean the economy’s rolling over,” he says. “But for a market that is priced for zero slowdown whatsoever, that is the risk that I think people need to watch. About the most surprising thing that I feel could happen to this market right now is that growth suddenly slows.”

“They’re behaving for now, but if you start seeing the 10-year climb far above 4.25%, I think that begins to become a headwind on the market,” Essaye says. “Until we get that inflation data, you kind of got markets in a bit of a holding pattern.”

This Relentless Rally Has Gone Far Beyond

This Relentless Rally Has Gone Far Beyond: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

The Stock Market Hasn’t Been This Hot in Decades. Is the Rally Justified?

“If we look at the facts, I cannot help but feel as though this relentless rally has gone far beyond either actual improvement in the fundamentals and reasonable expectations of continued improvement,” writes Sevens Report Founder and President Tom Essaye.

As Essaye points out, a price-to-earnings ratio around that level was “previously only reserved for periods of quantitative easing and 0% rates, not quantitative tightening and 5.37% fed funds.”

The Next Key Resistance Level To Watch For Bitcoin: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s on MSN

Bitcoin Falls Before Fed Minutes and Nvidia Earnings. Where Prices Could Go Next.

“There is a well-defined uptrend channel in place that leaves the path of least resistance higher,” said Tom Essaye, the founder of Sevens Report Research. “$57,691 is the next key resistance level to watch” for Bitcoin, Essaye noted, referencing a technical indicator that flashed this technical level and adding that “we expect to at least see some hesitation as prices move into the mid $50,000s.”

Hedging Up Ahead Of The Results: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stocks Open Lower Ahead of Fed Minutes, Nvidia Earnings

“There are no notable economic reports today, but the January Fed meeting minutes will be released at 2:00 p.m. ET and that could move Treasury yields and ultimately impact stocks,” writes Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye.

Nvidia, which was the poster child for 2023’s artificial intelligence stock rally, was on track to dip again ahead of the chip maker’s earnings report that’s due after the market closes.

Tech Stocks Pulled Bacl – Tom Essaye Quoted In Barron’s

Hedging Up Ahead Of The Results: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Tech Stocks Pulled Back. The Nasdaq Fell 0.9%.

“You’ve got arguably the most important stock in the whole market producing earnings tomorrow, so I think that you’re just seeing some people reduce a little bit of exposure into that earnings print on the chance that perhaps it isn’t as fantastic as everybody expects it to be,” Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s in a phone interview.

Essaye said that last Friday’s selling flowed through to today as traders expressed worries that inflation isn’t going to come down as fast as they were previously pricing in.

“I don’t think it means a lot to be honest,” Essaye says. “Because if Nvidia posts good earnings tomorrow, all this is going to be undone relatively quickly.”

Hedging Up Ahead Of The Results: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Nvidia Weighs on Tech Stocks Ahead of Earnings

“I think what you’re seeing is just some hedging up ahead of the results,” Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s in a phone interview. “I think that’s part of it. The other part of it is you’re still seeing some follow through from Friday selling, too, as people are getting, not nervous about a rebound in inflation, but a little less sure that inflation is just going to keep going straight down in a line.”

Growth Data Becomes Even More Important

Growth Data Becomes Even More Important: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

The Dow Had Its Biggest Drop Since 2023. It Was Almost Worse.

Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s in a phone interview that while the report didn’t show an uptick in inflation, it did dial back expectations for a market that’s been pricing in rate cuts sooner rather than later.

Essaye adds that Thursday’s growth data becomes even more important because the bullish thesis is built on a belief the central bank cuts rates and growth stays stable.

He notes recent data is starting to imply a leveling off after months of quick disinflation.

“I think now the focus then turns to growth,” Essaye says. “And if you get, all of a sudden, some disappointing growth numbers, now you’re going to have some stagflation worries, and you’re gonna see this thing unwind, I think, kind of quick.”

The Market Had Gotten Ahead Of Itself: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stocks Drop as Market Dials Back Fed Rate-Cut Expectations After CPI Data

Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s in a phone interview that while the report didn’t imply that inflation was bouncing back significantly, the market had gotten ahead of itself by pricing in inflation crashing to the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.

“I think this is more symptomatic of a market that’s frankly, gotten ahead of itself on what it expects to happen,” Essaye says. “And we’re having that expectation dialed back now.”

“It’s just one report, but I think it is a little bit of a reminder, and an important one, that what has really fueled this rally since October has been the assumption of Fed rate cuts and falling inflation,” Essaye says. “And while that likely will happen later this year, it may not happen as soon as they expected. And I think that’s what we’re seeing in markets.”
